Plans to build a progressive biomass energy centre in Hull have been officially revealed.
The £130 million project, another shining example of the UK’s excellence in the renewable energy sector, could generate enough energy to power 95,000 homes.
The Queen Elizabeth Dock-based plant would burn wood shipped from overseas to provide green electricity and reduce carbon emissions by 190,000 tonnes a year.
Power company Real Ventures wants to build the plant and it is expected that planning application will be submitted to Hull City Council by April. If approved, building work could begin by the end of the year.
